Hi all,
Okay, well up til now what we've been doing is following along with
upstream's input-hotplug work as it matures. Thankfully Debian has done
excellent work at cleaning up dexconf and the postinst scripts. It
sounds like there is additional integration work for hooking in with hal
(which I wanted to work on myself but haven't had enough time), and lots
of testing to be done; it isn't looking like we'll have time to achieve
this by release.
Furthermore, even if the input-hotplug stuff were fully solidified, at
this time we still do not have config tools (command line or gui), so as
evidenced in comments by Tim and others, this leaves folks in a tough
spot if they wish for non-default behavior. Without these tools, input
configuration actually becomes a bit *harder* than it would be
otherwise.
Timo and I discussed this and decided that given our current risk
tolerance level and amount of resources available to work on issues, it
would be best to revert the input-hotplug stuff for now, and go back to
doing manual input configs in xorg.conf. Timo has taken the action to
do this revert early next week (it's too late for alpha 5 in any case).
(Btw, if anyone would be interested in helping on making input-hotplug
ready to go in Ubuntu, we'd love the help. Contact me directly, join
#ubuntu on freenode, or join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing
list.)
